Default Re: AMERICAN AIRLINES AND FEES THEY CHARGE
Regarding the $!5 fee per ticket for using an agent to book a FF ticket......I just booked 2 FF "multi-city" tickets from IAD to Barcelona and returning from Venice to IAD on United. Now what Irked me was that they charged me the $15 per ticket because I used an agent rather than United's web site BUT you cannot book a multi-city FF ticket on United Web Site. These "free" tickets cost me approx $113 each ( $98 taxes plus $15 booking fee). Since I purchased the tickets prior to May 15 I am under the old rules for change fees.

One of my biggest problems will be overweight luggage for a 3 week trip. I have a Samsonite hard side 3 suiter (29in) and I think that weighs close to 50lbs to start! I imagine private luggage service to Europe is expensive..how do I find out?
